Happy July everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the start to summer, or winter, depending on where you are. For me, summer is my LEAST favorite part of the year — unless it’s 70 degrees with a nice breeze. I hate sweating and summer clothes are my least favorite to shop for. Plus, these past couple of summers in the Northwest have been very smokey due to wildfires and they’re predicting another smokey summer. So, yay.
ANYWHOO…
Here’s some upcoming releases for July that I’ve had my eye on or have recently discovered. Needless to say my TBR pile is growing instead of shrinking. Bookworm probs, am I right?
